The 8 Best Whataburger Stories We Covered In 2017

When you see orange and white stripes in Texas, you automatically think of Whataburger! It seems as if we're writing about this Texas burger joint every week! So, with that in mind here are our top 8 stories we liked from this year!

Before I get into this list I've got to tell you about my uncle who lives in the St. Louis area, see anytime he comes in town for a visit his first stop is at Whataburger! If he flies in, we have take him to the closest Whataburger to the airport or if he's driving in,well, he will show up at the house with his large orange and white stripped cup as proof that he's had his Whataburger fix BEFORE getting to us! Then of course on the way back home, he has to leave Texas with his orange and white cup and bag with a Whataburger and fries!

Now on to our look back at 2017 with our top 8 best stories that we have written about Whataburger.

Whataburger stadium
This has got to be one of the all-time favorites! See what I did there? True Whataburger fans will get that reference!

Ok, full disclosure here - I really had nine, but I couldn't find a Whataburger around that had a number 9 tent! They had 39, 49, 69, 89, but no simple number 9! So, as a bonus, I have to include the one about Whataburger ketchup being available in stores!

Without a doubt, we will be talking more about Whataburger going into 2018! Now after all this talk about Whataburger, I'm headed to the Whataburger around the corner from the radio station for a combo number one with cheese and mustard only, fries, an unsweet tea and I'm going to treat myself to an apple pie today! I wonder what tent number I'll get today?
